Qi Guangji went home to visit his relatives in a legitimate way, but was robbed and killed on the way home.
He was seriously injured and taken back to Suzhou.
If Qi Guangji had not been hiding in the military camp for so many years and had not been taught by me, his strength had increased steadily and he had quietly reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, he might have died.
Someone is targeting Qi Guangji, or rather, someone is targeting me.
I was surprised and couldn't understand it because I didn't seem to have made any enemies over the years.
I have been developing quietly all the time, without any open hostility towards anyone. I have also been monitoring the Suzhou Du family on a large scale, and they have not done many evil things.
[To be honest, I've been using the Huanyuan app to read books and keep up with the latest updates. It allows you to switch between different sources and has a variety of reading voices. Huanyuan app is available for both Android and Apple devices.]
After the Kingdom of the Rising Sun chose to surrender, the Suzhou Du family became even more stable and extremely loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and they even never evaded taxes.
Well, I am also very strict in this aspect.
Overall, I can't figure out who is secretly trying to kill Qi Guangji.
However, Qi Guangji found it difficult to accept such an assassination. Even Yu Zhifu could understand it, but I couldn't quite understand it.
Seeing that I was really confused, Yu Zhifu quietly found me after visiting Qi Guangji.
Then he told me something that shocked me greatly.
I want to rebel!
I:? ? ?
My head and face were full of question marks, but Yu Zhifu sighed deeply.
He explained to me carefully, "At this point, there's no need for you to make such a gesture. In fact, we all know what you're thinking."
I didn't understand that they knew what I was thinking.
"Raising enough soldiers and horses, winning their hearts, paying them adequate salaries, giving them corresponding land, and lowering their taxes is already taming loyal men."
I was speechless. What I did was indeed to cultivate loyal people, and to prepare these people to truly and correctly fight against that brilliant and terrifying light with me.
But I didn't think of rebelling.
"It's not a rebellion. How could your mind be so complicated? You were born with the body of a true dragon. Your bloodline cannot be faked. As long as you stand up and raise your arms, countless people will follow you. You are also the legitimate successor and can inherit that position."
"Ah?"
I was completely confused from beginning to end and never expected such a bizarre turn of events.
Those born with a true dragon body have the opportunity to inherit the throne. How come I have never heard of this?
Yu Zhifu was also shocked by my ignorance, and he felt like thunder was rolling in the sky. However, he thought that I was more accustomed to disguising myself and not revealing my true face. After praising me, he carefully explained it to me.
"The Great Xia Emperor founded the country and pacified the world with the body of a true dragon, shocking countless people.
"However, Taizu died too early, and the world was not completely stable. Rebellions broke out in various places, especially the King of Western Chu, who was the most powerful.
“Back then, even the capital of Great Xia was captured, and the entire world was in chaos. It was Emperor Gaozu who slew the dragon and rose up in the form of a true dragon to confront the Overlord of Western Chu head-on.
"Win the final battle and inherit the throne!"
"The Great Xia Emperor left behind a precept that all princes, generals, and ministers, regardless of their lineage, could inherit the throne. As long as they were willing to acknowledge the Emperor's glory and majesty, they could enter the Eastern Palace.
"At the beginning of the later ages, the world experienced many turmoils, but every time, a peerless figure emerged and conquered the world with the body of a true dragon. Initially, none of them had the surname Zhao, but after taking control of Kyoto, they all took on the surname Zhao."
When I heard this explanation, I almost vomited blood from my chest, but at the same time, this incident also answered many doubts in my mind.
Indeed, in orthodox history, the Taizu and Gaozu of Daxia normally had different surnames and no blood relationship. Why did the most noble person in the empire throughout the dynasties have the surname Zhao?
It turns out there is such a relationship. Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species?
This is truly a wonderful thing.
No wonder after I publicly revealed my true dragon body and controlled a real dragon.
Despite displaying such powerful abilities, the Third Prince and the First Prince in the Imperial Capital didn't send anyone to win me over, and the people in Kyoto even ignored me.
It turns out that after I showed the relevant abilities, I actually had the opportunity to become the legitimate heir.
In name and legal terms, they truly own the inheritance rights of this empire. We are competitors, so they certainly won't come to win me over. This is a relationship of life and death.
I finally understood why Yu Zhifu and Qi Guangji were so hesitant at first and were unwilling to fully join my team.
They also clearly know what the concept and price will be after joining my team.
But Yu Zhifu also has the body of a true dragon, so why didn’t he receive such treatment?
When he heard my question, Yu Zhifu looked strange.
"Because my family has always been covering up for me, and I'm not strong enough, I haven't shown my true colors!
“Throughout the ages, there have been people born with true dragon bodies, but they generally never reveal themselves in advance. Once exposed, they are likely to die.
"These are the top secrets passed down from generation to generation in the aristocratic family."
"Oh, what a sin!"
…
"What a sin!"
When Zhang Mingtu saw this, he sighed heavily in his heart. He did not expect that things would develop in such a bizarre and strange way.
This shouldn't be the case.
He had just made up his mind to quietly accumulate strength and really launch a rebellion.
